Trusted Criminal Defense for Foreign Clients in Korea

As an English-speaking drug crime defense lawyer in Korea, Attorney Soobin You successfully secured a non-prosecution result in a Zolpidem case involving a foreign client who used another person’s identity to obtain medication. By analyzing the overlapping charges—drug crime, identity misuse, insurance fraud, and resident registration violations—and presenting medical records, treatment history, and evidence of sincere rehabilitation, Attorney You demonstrated the client’s therapeutic motive rather than criminal intent, leading the prosecution to close the case without indictment.

As a former Korean prosecutor and experienced sex-crime defense attorney, Soobin You successfully secured a “no-charge” outcome in a complex statutory rape (authority/coercion) case involving allegations under Korea’s Child and Juvenile Protection Act. By thoroughly analyzing the complainant’s statements, demonstrating the absence of coercion or undue influence, and presenting evidence of a consensual relationship, Attorney You effectively challenged the prosecution’s theory and obtained a full clearance for the client. This case demonstrates Attorney You’s strategic, evidence-based approach to sex crime defense in Korea, especially in high-risk accusations involving minors, coercion, or abuse of authority.

As a former prosecutor and Daegu traffic accident defense lawyer, Attorney Soobin You successfully obtained a full acquittal in a serious 14-week-injury traffic accident case through Korea’s jury trial system, presenting strategic evidence analysis, jury-focused advocacy, and a compelling argument that the client’s actions did not warrant criminal punishment.
